Welcome to XBomber.co.uk, home of X-Bomber.

X-Bomber is a freeware video game for Windows PCs. It is a fast, modern 2D vertical-scrolling shoot-em-up set in space in the 31st century.

It is based on the 80s Japanese manga sci-fi show Star Fleet and features lots of hectic arcade action, weapons and explosions.

[ 2009.10.25 ] - Mission 11 Progress:
Giant Underwater Robot It shouldn't be much of a surprise from the picture that Mission 11 contains an underwater section and although I've sprited some really cool submarines, it's difficult to make an awesome submarine. In order to improve the situation I'm creating a giant, underwater, transforming robot.
[ 2009.09.26 ] - Version 0.6 Complete

OK, I finished v0.6! It should work pretty well. It should be quite stable and glitch-free. I need to go back and add Mission briefings.

The new release has the ability to return to the Main Menu during play. The Menu has seen some other revisions. A new Checkpoint / Auto-Save System has also been added.

I also managed to fix a bug present in the last few versions that have stopped explosions from releasing shrapnel/debris particles caused by MMF1.5 counting the first frame of an animation as "zero" and MMF2 counting it as "1". This fix has fixed some aspects of gameplay and anything that was adversely affected has been re-balanced.

I hope you have a great time playing and running X-Bomber v0.6. Take the time, if you can, to report any bugs etc.

... to everyone for writing me emails of encouragement and support even though I had to remove my email address from the site to make it more difficult for Enoki Films to harrass me. I am in the process of replying to them all. Thank you very much guys and thanks to everyone who takes 5 minutes to test our new version and writes on the forum to tell us how well she works.

Description

Welcome to the second half of our little demonstration of the latest version of X-Bomber; Level 08: EDF Vesuvia. There are quite a few enemies to see here as well as lots of our new weapons including the crowd-pleasing laser turret. The Dai-X also makes an appearance further towards the end. Soundtrack is from the demoscene; DJ Lizard's extended Astral Chase and from the X-Box game; Project Sylpheed.
